 The special stamp set we have for you this month is:

"Zoo Friends"

 The mini stamp set we have for you this month is

"You May Bow"
                                                         

I have two items to show you today.  The first item is some "change of address" cards I made using the Cricut Songbird Cartridge for my MIL as she has moved into a care home.


My second item is a card using the sentiment from the set along with some of the columns and a little watering can (an outline sticker).  The sentiment and watering can were enhanced with gilding flakes - I bought some new ones at the Craft Barn at their new shop opening last weekend.
 


Thanks for coming, please come again tomorrow.  Now you need to hop over to Anjenic to see what she is showing us today.

    The change of address card is very sweet. I also like the column and topiary side by side.

    Your change of address card is quite unique. Your second card makes me remember I have the "watering gene". Off to give my flowers a drink! TFS!

    Love what you did with these two sets. The birds are darling and the watering can was the perfect addition...especially with the sentiment.

    Your "new home" card is so creative. What a great way to let your friends know you have moved (or in this case, that your mother-in-law has moved).

    Janine, both of your cards are exceptional. I like how you have the house shape on the first one. You did a great job combining the sets to make the change of address card. So creative.
